blaahahahaha Rateds blablah;blahblah

I need to replace "Rateds blablah;" to empty space

str_replace won't do it.

How to do this?

you need to give more info

how will you know what to replace and what not?

you can look at preg_replace() but you may not need it.
theres also substr() and its related functions

"Rated blablah;"

I want to replace pattern that has "Rated any characters and;"

Start from "Rated up to first semicolon.

[mikerh9]

It doesn't replace "Rated 4 by 5;"

$replacement ="";
$pattern = "/Rated.+;/";
$found_str = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $found_str);
